Hello! I am a licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience. I specialize in working with adults and teens (age 13+) who struggle with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship issues, and trauma. I work with individuals experiencing stress from work and career decisions, life transitions, relationships, everyday demands of living, and traumatic experiences. Whatever you're struggling with, your experience is real and valid and you deserve the time and space to improve your life. Together, we’ll work to identify patterns, process emotions and experiences, and build practical skills for coping.
Everyone’s goals are unique and deserve an individualized approach. In my work, I draw from evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR to support meaningful change. My approach is direct but grounded in a trusting relationship and in a space where you can feel comfortable peeling back the layers and moving toward the change you are seeking.
Building a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my client-centered approach. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you or your teen can dive into challenges, grow, and work toward a more fulfilling life. Click the Email button to send me a message and schedule a free consultation appointment. I look forward to connecting!

My therapy techniques are rooted in research but guided by your needs and goals. In our first session, we will get to know each other and your reasons for seeking therapy. From there, we will create goals and a plan to make the best use our time together. Therapy is not "one size fits all" and I strive to make each person's experience unique to most effectively meet their unique goals.
